Henry VIII and his older brother, Arthur Tudor—were they close siblings or distant strangers? The answer might surprise you! Despite being brothers, their lives were shaped by duty, distance, and very different upbringings.

So, was Henry's relationship with Arthur truly distant, or is there more to the story?
